Well, there's a lot of overlap between kvm and qemu, and there's little setup or black magic needed to use kvm. What particularly are you missing? The intent is that kvm be very easy to use to a unix user proficient in the command line, with the gui junkies served by what virt-manager aims to be (or competing solutions). >> Yes you've been doing something wrong -- you should have reported >> this quickly.

Well, it is a reasonable assumption, but the sad fact is, we do little regression testing on smp here, and Intel doesn't test AMD for some reason. It used to work but regressed. That's something we need to improve on, and quickly. I'm counting on Anthony's plan to flood the known universe with kvm-testing nanobots. > I set up a few KVM virtual machines about 6 > months ago with the intent of migrating my mail server and some other > functions to them but never quite got it working to my satisfaction. > Now I've got major problems with the 10+ year old hardware (and > software) with that system and it is becoming urgent. > Let us know what's not working and we will try to address it. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
